Re: One of the greatest mysteries
When I visited Egypt many years ago, the main Pyramid was closed to visitors, but I did manage to go inside the smaller one next to it. The shaft leading down into the pyramid was quite steep, and you had to bend really low to walk down it. The blocks in the main hall were so precisely cut and fitted together, I bet you couldn't get a playing card between them. Marvellous engineering.29-05-2021, 06:41 PM

Re: One of the greatest mysteries
Enough of the pyramids. No-One knows how they were built. Everyone has a theory but nothing concrete (Did I mention concrete?) It would have been a lot easier than humping those great stones uphill. Talking of stones, I live not too far from Stonehenge. Now all you clever people how was that built and how and why did they bring stones from Wales all that way to Salisbury Plain?|
